The hospital project here in Agatu is in loving memory of those that were gruesomely killed and this is to enhance healthcare service delivery in the affected areas. More of this would come because I will liaise with foreign partners to build schools and refurbish the destroyed homes of the displaced persons.”Nwogu stated.
